Decision details

The purpose of this report is:
1. To seek approval from the authorised delegated officer, to sanction the use of £91k in the capital programme for ‘Foxdenton Hall – Essential Health

RESOLVED - That
1. £91k be allocated from the ‘Foxdenton Hall – Essential Health

Option 1 – Do nothing
This is not considered a viable option, as without an electricity supply, neither Foxdenton Hall nor the Pavilion can be opened to the general public.
Option 2 – Allocate the required funds from the £200k capital budget for Foxdenton Hall and Pavilion.
This is not considered a viable option, as it is estimated that £100k of the budget is required to finish the refurbishment of the pavilion. The remaining £100k is required as match funding to support the application to HLF for capital funding relating to the full restoration of the Hall. If this budget is used to fund the electrical supply to both buildings, it is likely that the wider project will be unviable.
Option 3 – Allocate £91k from the ‘Foxdenton Hall – Essential Health

Options 1 and 2

Cllr McLaren as Member for Chadderton Central and Director of Chadderton Together Ltd has been engaged with regarding progress of the HLF bid, pavilion works and the proposed electricity extension. Officers from Finance, Legal, District Partnerships and Property have also been consulted.
